This paper presents a new way to describe the Arctic sea-ice changes based on the shape of the observed seasonal cycles and using machine learning techniques. We show that the East Siberian and Laptev seas have lost their typical permanent sea-ice seasonal cycle while the Kara and Chukchi seas are experiencing a new typical seasonal cycle, corresponding to a partial winter-freezing.

Old observations are necessary to understand the atmosphere. When direct observations are not available, one can use indirect observations, such as tide gauges, which measure the sea level in port cities. The sea level rises when local air pressure decreases and when wind pushes water towards the coast. Several centuries-long tide gauge records are available. We show that these can be complementary to direct pressure observations for studying storms and anticyclones in the 19th century.

This paper explores potential technical enhancements to wind lidar profilers for improved turbulence measurement. The study separately tests the effects of increased sampling rate and reduced probe length against a commercial lidar of the same type. Various turbulence metrics were quantified to evaluate the impact of these technical modifications. The results indicate that increasing the sampling rate is the most valuable enhancement for turbulence measurement.

The goal of this paper is to weight several dynamic models in order to improve the representativeness of a system. It is illustrated using a set of versions of an idealized model describing the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. The low-cost method is based on data-driven forecasts. It enables model performance to be evaluated on their dynamics. Taking into account both model performance and codependency, the derived weights outperform benchmarks in reconstructing a model distribution.

Short summary
This study examines motion's impact on LOS turbulent velocity fluctuations measured by lidar profilers. Onshore tests used a mobile lidar (WindCube v2.1) on a hexapod, comparing it to a fixed lidar. RMSE was calculated to assess motion effects on turbulence. Results showed alignment, wind speed and amplitude as significant influences on RMSE. Motion frequency affected LOS velocity spectra but had limited impact on RMSE compared to other factors.

Short summary
The goal of this paper is to obtain probabilistic predictions of a partially observed dynamical system without knowing the model equations. It is illustrated using the three-dimensional Lorenz system, where only two components are observed. The proposed data-driven procedure is low-cost, is easy to implement, uses linear and Gaussian assumptions and requires only a small amount of data. It is based on an iterative linear Kalman smoother with a state augmentation.

We present a new approach to validate numerical simulations of the current climate. The method can take advantage of existing climate simulations produced by different centers combining an analog forecasting approach with data assimilation to quantify how well a particular model reproduces a sequence of observed values. The method can be applied with different observations types and is implemented locally in space and time significantly reducing the associated computational cost.

Temperature and salinity profiles are essential for studying the ocean’s stratification, but there are not enough of these data. Satellites are able to measure daily maps of the surface ocean. We train a machine to learn the link between the satellite data and the profiles in the Gulf Stream region. We can then use this link to predict profiles at the high resolution of the satellite maps. Our prediction is fast to compute and allows us to get profiles at any locations only from surface data.

Short summary
The characterization of the turbulence intensity (TI) from profiling lidars measurements is still an active area of research. In this paper, a new method is proposed to derive TI from a WindCube v2.1 lidar. The new method allows for a reduction of TI estimation by a factor of more than 3 in comparison to a method commonly used in the wind energy industry. Moreover, a new configuration of WindCube v2.1 with a sampling rate four times higher than that of the commercial lidar is presented.

Short summary
A novel data-driven method is proposed to design an optimal sensor network for the reconstruction of offshore wind resources. Based on unsupervised learning of numerical weather prediction wind data, it provides a simple yet efficient method for the siting of sensors, outperforming state-of-the-art methods for this application. It is applied in the main French offshore wind energy development areas to provide guidelines for the deployment of floating lidars for wind resource assessment.
